Memo to the City Council/P 00-2 <br />March 20, 2000 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />Drainage and Grading and Erosion Control <br /> <br />Staff requested that the Preliminary Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Plan <br />identify conceptual grading for the entire plat. The plans show individual NURP <br />ponds for each lot and an individual NURP pond for the proposed road located on <br />the southeast end of Lot 1, Block 2. Drainage and Utility easements are required <br />over any pond areas. In the future, when individual development proposals come <br />forward, consideration can be given to moving the ponds to a different location, at <br />which time the City would vacate the given drainage and utility easements in <br />exchange for different drainage and utility easements. <br /> <br />Drainage calculations will be required for review and approval prior to final plat of <br />the development (See the attached Howard R. Green memorandum). <br /> <br />Trott Brook Farms, Outlot I <br /> <br />As proposed, the sanitary sewer will cross Outlot I, property owned by the developer <br />of Trott Brook Farms. If utilities are to cross private property, a Drainage and <br />utility easement will need to be granted in favor of the city. If the easement cannot <br />be obtained, then the utilities will have to be realigned to another location without <br />crossing private property. <br /> <br />Tree Preservation <br /> <br />To minimize the amount of tree loss, staff recommends that tree removal prior to <br />building permit issuance be limited to what is necessary for the construction of the <br />public improvements. To provide further protection, the developer should fence the <br />limit of grading prior to tree removal and the construction of the public <br />improvements to prevent inadvertent grading, erosion, soil compaction and storage <br />of debris or equipment in the trees. Also, as each lot develops, a tree preservation <br />plan is to be submitted indicating tree preservation measures and the necessary <br />tree removal. The site shall not be mass graded prior to building permit issuance. <br /> <br />Existing House <br /> <br />The plat cannot be recorded with the existing house located over a proposed <br />property line. Also, the house is non-conforming structure in the Business Park <br />zoning and will have to be removed. <br /> <br />Park Dedication Fees <br /> <br />Presently park dedication fees for Industrial lots being created are $2,000 per acre. <br />Payment of the park dedication fee is required prior to releasing the plat for <br />recording with Sherburne County in the amount required by the City at the time of <br />final plat. <br /> <br />\\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\stevewen\ccmmo\p00-2.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
